1. Each society has its
own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviours, and social habits. These give
people a sense of who they are, how they should behave, and what they should or
should not do. These 'rules' reflect the 'culture' of a country.
People become conscious of such rules when they meet people from
different cultures. For example, in some cultures, being on time can mean
turning up several hours late for an appointment, even for a business meeting;
in others, 3 p.m. means 3 p.m. Also, the rules aboutwhen to eat vary from
culture to culture. Many North Americans and Europeans are used to having three
mealtimes a day and organizing their timetable around them. In some countries,
on the other hand, people often do not have strict rules like this - people eat
when they want to and every family has its own time table.
When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they
are often surprised at the differences that exist between their own culture and
that in the other country. The most common way of comparing two cultures is in
terms of their differences - not their similarities.
